Method and assumptions
Returns affect revenue, inventory recovery and reverse-logistics cost at the same time. This model assumes the entered recovery percentage applies to product cost, not retail price.
Return impact = refunded revenue - recovered product value + return handling. Adjusted profit = profit before returns - return impact.
Common questions
What does recovered product value mean?
It estimates how much product cost can be returned to sellable inventory or otherwise recovered.
